I heard that there is a royal temple in Wuhan called Baotong Temple, which is extraordinary, so I came here for a walk. Baotong Temple is built on the mountain, shaded by trees, and along the steps are halls, which are large in scale and very imposing. The red walls and green tiles are solemn and gorgeous under the green trees. There is a pagoda on the mountain, which is said to have been built in the Yuan Dynasty. The building looks exquisite and strong. There is a small tower on the top of the mountain that is specially used to adopt stray cats, and you can see many cute kittens. The Buddha is compassionate, and here you can feel the feelings of equality of all beings and compassion for the world. There is also a vegetarian restaurant outside the temple. I went in to experience it. Although the taste is not as good as the vegetarian restaurant in Jiming Temple in Nanjing, it is also a little special, and the Hongshan vegetable table is quite delicious. If you want to find a treasure land for meditation and enlightenment, you can come to Baotong Temple for a walk.

#Sakura2024 Today, I would like to recommend another very important temple in Wuhan, China, which is Baotong Temple. This temple has a very good atmosphere. The inside is very large and has lots of trees. In addition, this temple also has a highlight, which is the Hongshan Tower, which was built during the Yuan Dynasty. It has a very long history. Anyone who has the opportunity to come to Wuhan must not miss visiting this temple. Let me tell you a little secret that this temple has an entrance fee of about 10 yuan. You can scan and buy a ticket at the temple.

The heavy snow in Wuhan was not in vain after all. I missed the heavy snow in Wuhan before the New Year. This snowstorm after the New Year made up for my regrets❗ The ice particles feel like stepping on sand. Against the white background, yellow and scarlet are more eye-catching. - 📍Location: Baotong Temple, Wuhan 🚇Transportation: Baotong Temple Station on Metro Line 2 🎫Ticket price: 8 yuan - ‼ ️Don't miss these places in Baotong Temple after the snow ❶Royal Temple Baotong Temple has always belonged to the royal temple, which makes its architecture and layout more grand and magnificent.

In addition, there is a cat walking carefully under the eaves🐈 ❸Winter Plum🌺 There are several red plum trees blooming in the garden. The cold air makes the fragrance of flowers even more elusive The heavy snow gave Baotong Temple a new look and also added a touch of surprise!

We intended to worship the Garuda, so we went to Wat Pho Thong. The entrance to the temple looked magnificent and beautiful. There are also other sacred objects to worship besides the Garuda, such as the Naga, various deities, Mother Earth, King Rama V, and the famous Luang Por Warah. However, we did not know how to meet him. After that, we went to eat on the opposite side of the temple. The food was delicious. #summerdream

Once upon a time, I have visited Baotong Temple several times, and the only impression it left me was that each hall is a scene, unlike the cramped flatness of Guiyuan Temple, especially with its back against Hongshan, with its undulating layout. Today, I visited again with friends, and the scenery remains the same, only the broken branches and withered leaves on the back mountain are still recounting the previous freezing rain and snow damage. The pagoda is now locked, and it's no longer possible to climb up for a view for just two yuan as before. 📜 About Baotong Temple Baotong Temple, the only royal temple in Wuhan, is the largest in scale and the most magnificent in halls, ranking first among the temples in Wuchang. Originally the Dahongshan Temple in Suizhou, during the Duanping period of the Southern Song Dynasty (1234-1236), Meng Gong, the administrator of Jinghu, in order to prevent the invasion of the Jin troops from the south, submitted a request to Emperor Lizong to issue a decree with gold, ordering the relocation of Dahongshan Temple to this location, and the mountain was renamed Hongshan. During the Yuan Dynasty (1280-1291), to commemorate Master Ciren, the Baotong Pagoda was built over eleven years, originally named Lingji Pagoda, and later renamed Hongshan Baotong Pagoda because it was built on Hongshan. The pagoda has 7 levels and is majestic and spectacular. 📸 Photo spots: Prajna Gate, corridors to the left and right of Maitreya Hall 🐱 Cat paradise: There are especially many kittens, sleek and shiny, not afraid of people at all, you can prepare some cat food. 🚌 Public transportation: Baotong Temple Station: Wuhan Metro Line 2, many buses Nearby attractions: The world's largest giant commercial complex - Wuhan Mall Dream Times, Qunguang Plaza, Shi Yang Martyr's Cemetery 🎫 Ticket: 10 yuan per person, no reservation needed 🍚 Vegetarian food: Meals available, pay as you wish
